Bitcoin miners sold 15,000+ BTC from treasuries to fund AI data center buildouts. Mining stocks are up 56% while BTC is down 17%. Bitcoin's hashrate is now underwritten by hyperscaler AI capex, and the AI trade just had its worst day since 2025. The mining sector's AI pivot is well covered at this point. What I haven't seen discussed is what it means for Bitcoin itself now that the AI capex trade is getting questioned. The state of the pivot: Bitcoin is down roughly 17% year to date. A tracked basket of listed mining equities is up 56% over the same period per 10X Research. TeraWulf gained more than 73%. That relationship used to run the other way. Miners were a leveraged BTC trade: BTC up 10%, miners up 20%. The market has stopped valuing these companies on how much Bitcoin they mine and started valuing them on how much AI compute they can deliver.
